What is 'consumer direct fulfilment (CDF)'? What does it mean to me as a Retailer? Who is participating, how is it funded, and how do I get involved?
- CDF is a 'freight free' home delivery service that can be offered by a retailer,
with supply being managed by the participating Publisher direct to consumer.
The concept is in response to international consumer offerings and is jointly
funded by bookseller and publisher through 'terms of trade' changes, for that
CDF delivery. This service is available for all mainland Australia destinations,
with individual publishers communicating changes to terms.
- For a retailer this means another service offering helping to keep customers in Australian stores.
- Publishers distributed by the following Distributors are included in the CDF program:
Alliance Distribution Services
Harper Collins
Macmillan Distribution Services
Random House Australia
United Book Distributors (Pearson is not included)
- To access CDF, a retailer must be:
- Subscribed to TitlePage Plus
- Able to use either POS or TitlePage website to deliver appropriately completed orders
Note: Orders will be dispatched within 24 hours of receipt and be shipped with a delivery label that clearly identifies the bookshop through which the consumer placed the order. CDF orders will be invoiced to the bookseller as per normal stock orders but at a shorter discount. Publisher will advise these terms.
